Waddel Fellowship

The Waddel Fellowship is a vocational discernment project developed through the Presbyterian Student Center at the University of Georgia in cooperation with the congregations of Northeast Georgia Presbytery, the students of the University of Georgia, the Presbyterian campus ministry at the University of Alabama (Bama UKirk), and Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. The goals of the Waddel Fellowship are to encourage undergraduate students at the University of Georgia (1) to explore calls to Christian ministry, (2) to consider the relationship between faith and vocation, and (3) to prepare for various types of leadership in the church. These goals will be achieved by (1) placing students in leadership positions in congregations, (2) building a support network around them that includes both individual attention and community gatherings, (3) starting an internship program, (4) assisting participants in visiting seminaries, (5) holding an annual vocational weekend at Columbia Theological Seminary, and (6) creating a “Waddel Fellowship Committee” to oversee the project.

ORGANIZATIONAL DEMOGRAPHICS

In order to support nonprofits and
gain valuable insight for the
sector, GuideStar worked with D5—a five-year initiative to advance
diversity, equity, and inclusion in
philanthropy—in creating a questionnaire.
This section is a voluntary
questionnaire that empowers
organizations to share information
on the demographics of who
works in and leads organizations.
To protect the identity
of individuals, we do not display
sexual orientation or disability
information for organizations
with fewer than 15 staff.
Any values displayed in this
section are percentages of the
total number of individuals in
each category (e.g. 20% of all
Board members for X organization
are female).
